> Any truth to this [vile blasphemy]? Hard to imagine how server side scripting could fool HtDig. Maybe if the URL is randomly gnerated gibberish for every page visit, the HtDig crawler won't know if it has already visited a page or not. The ISP might also be trying to save buck. Crawling files on a filesystem uses maybe less bandwidth and definitely less CPU than hitting the web server (which is required for a dynamic website.) Anyway, HtDig indexes websites that use server side scripting all the time.
No way HtDig 3.2 would make a difference in this respect. That said, HtDig 3.1 just got, um, upgraded out of the most recent Debian GNU/Linux distribution, so its days may be numbered for other reasons. Older software tends to accumulate problems over time as the environment it runs in changes - this is commonly referred to as 'bit rot'. --Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
